I highly doubt it will be the end. Anthem may not get a sequel but BioWare isn’t going anywhere.



Probably in it for one more game and if that fails they're done. It will probably succeed though.



I expect EA to absorb them into another studio like the usually do. Within six months, possibly.

And then what, they'll make yet more mediocre or worse games? BioWare was better off without being bought by Electronic Arseholes.

Then, they'll be gone. It goes without saying BioWare would still be making their great games if EA hadn't bought them. Sadly, that isn't the timeline we're in.

The second their parent company were bought by EA it was already the end for them.

EA and MS destroy studios, I would not be surprised.

What studios did MS destroy may I ask?

I mean Turn 10 is in such shambles its a disgrace..

Rare still exists after all there internal issues.

Bungie were amazing under MS.

You must mean Lion Head Studios who haven't made a good game in 20 years?

Or do you mean Ensemble Studios, who were merged internally within MS?

I am curious on your answers.

EA and Activison would be more correct.

Sony and Activision killed a fair number of studios as well. 



Anthem won't flop.



They announced a new Dragon Age at The Game Awards, if that underperforms too than I would say it's likely.

But honestly we should wait and see how Anthem performs, I know that the initial reception isn't very positive but that doesn't always translate to poor sales.
